    not sure how you got confused.... I was referring to the Muslim inquisitions

    did you think inquisitions could only be a Christian thing?

    You JUST said that Islamists who oppress women, kill gays.....have "the same agenda as progressives"

    NOW, you're saying progressives "are the champions of women's rights, gay rights"


    Can YOU not see yourself contradicting yourself??? Everybody else sure can. :D

    We are bombing them and supplying them at the same time. We are also "allies" with countries like Turkey who would love a reason to slaughter the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.

    They have the same agenda in that both groups despise Christianity and Western culture. Both want "fundamental transformation". Natural allies, in many ways.

    So what percentage would you personally get involved, Gorn? At what point will defending progressivism against non-white minorities be worth it for you?

    Odd.

    ISSI comprised something like 30,000 folks out of a billion Muslims. A minute fraction of a single percentage of Muslims, yet your OP shreds Muslims as whole based on that? And you want to talk to me about demographics? Hilarious.

    Here's the fun part...

    same guys who rightfully attack ISIS killing teenage boys....

    would then turn around and as a "solution" to it?

    gleefully support carpet-bombing Muslim countries....randomly killing men, women, teenagers, children even babies....and dismissively call them "collateral damage" and not only not care about the innocent dead....

    but I think REVEL in it.

    So you were criticizing Islam... by referencing something that happened in the history of Catholicism? That sounds about right. I think instead of "inquisition" - "jihad" would have been a lot more historically accurate.

    - - - Updated - - -

    There's no contradiction at all. I stated that Islam opposes progressives goals - but that some progressives defend Islam, anyway. Apparently something practiced by mainly non-white, non-Western minorities is to be defended, even if it is vehemently opposed to progressivism.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yep, I'd be curious what percentage it would get to before he says, "well, I know these are non-white minorities, but my ideology is important to me, so...."

    yes, calling this the Muslim version of the inquisitions was not a compliment

    Is ISIS the only Muslim terrorist group? No. Do these groups have millions of people supporting them throughout the world, including some in this country? Yes. You minimize the threat for what reason?

    "And in another, Houser cheered Muslim extremists for defending their religion.

    “Yes it’s true, Muslims are alone in shutting down liberals that mock their God. They have my complete Christian respect.”"

    No, not really.... Obama and pals just claim we are....

    Whats going on in Syria isnt bombing.....

    The Air campaign of the Gulf War
    , also known as the 1991 Bombing of Iraq started with an extensive aerial bombing campaign on 17 January 1991. The coalition flew over 100,000 sorties, dropping 88,500 tons of bombs,[2] widely destroying military and civilian infrastructure.

    I'd rather prevent their migration to the West. But, since they were the 2nd most loyal group to the party that Democrats support in 2012, I doubt many progressives would also support the idea.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The better question is, what other group do progressives support and defend that are completely opposed to progressive goals?

    We are not air striking them into oblivion. In fact, there's no sign of them losing in numbers, yet more growing. If we wanted to air strike them into oblivion, we'd use the carpet bombs that really do the trick. Not precision strikes aimed at senior leaders. Obama has not learned from the past.

    Depends on the faction of Islam. Most are intolerant to other forms of spirituality or the lack of it, but some are more violent than others.

    Salafi jihadism is a religious-political ideology based on a belief in violent jihadism

    It needs to be eradicated, it's not a true religion it is a death cult. It's an ideology centered on hatred.

    You need to make up your mind. You seem very inconsistent.

    Never mind the tired and pathetic deflections of our "progressive" friends, Brewskier.

    The Muslim Almohads ran their own inquisition in Spain centuries before the Catholics followed their example. It's no accident that Jews like Maimonides were vacating the mythical ecumenical heaven of al-Andalus in the 12th Century. The chronicles are out there (Abraham Ibn Daud, Judah ibn 'Aqnin, et al).

    Of course, our Leftist friends aren't concerned with such inconvenient historical facts, like the centuries of jihad that preceded the Crusades (another thing they are fond of overlooking)...

    They seem blissfully unaware that Muslims had taken over nearly 2/3rds of Christendom during the hundreds of years leading up to the first Crusade. The way they tell the story, Muslims were just minding their own business, peacefully existing in Muslim lands, when the big bad Christian army went to war with them.

    Never underestimate their ability or desire to make apologies for anything non-white, non-Christian, and non-Western.

    The argument they make is always "well Christianity affects me more, and that's the reason I don't oppose Islam", but do you really think they would be saying anything if they suddenly lived in an Islamic society? Do you think they are brave enough to oppose Muslims, the way they opposed Christians? I don't think so. Muslims fight back. That's an important difference. I'd guess most progressives would convert to Islam in order to save their own lives, rather than fight for whatever principles they purport to have at the moment.

    The fact they are growing is imperiling all of us. The fact a Muslim can get easily indoctrinated into their belief is not only jeopardizing the Muslim world it is totally endangering all human societies since Muslims are in their great numbers and we cannot stop this happening

    I minimize the threat? They are no threat to me. I live in 'merica, where our Constitution keeps the brutal savagery of theism under control by he rule of law.

    I simply don't buy into the whole "progressives suck because they support Muslims who kill gays even though progressive are for gay right" argument that folks put forth.
